After spending the Easter long weekend at Junee headed home to Canberra, on the way home stopped to activate a park, Ulandra Nature Reserve VKFF-2009. This is located near the locality of Bethungra.
Heading East, just before Bethungra, Burley Griffin Way turns to the North East, just before crossing a railway line. If you continue straight ahead to the East on a dirt road, Mahomets Road, you will reach a locked gate and the entrance to Ulandra Nature Reserve. Parked just before the gate. There is a side gate for pedestrians.
Sign for the park just after the gate.
The track is Eulolo Trail
It was warm in the sun... Walked for a while up the hill looking for a suitable shady spot to operate from, stopped on the top of the hill where there was a shady area on the right.
Attached the squid pole to an old tree stump, where there was also a nearby log to sit on.
Shack on the ground near the log seat
Got on 40m. First worked a couple of park to parks, VK2PCT Paul in VKFF-0558 Yellomundee Regional Park. Then VK2YAK Gavin in VKFF-2697 Pambalong Nature Reserve.
